Ardour too is currently audio-only. But it also has a notion of musical time, to provide a grid for many different kinds of operations (positioning, stretching, selecting, etc.) > So to say that we must support plugins that control musical time is OK, >as long as it is OK that we don't support musical time at all :) in all seriousness, i think this fine. you provide the requisite GMPI data structure to a plugin that wants to do this, it fiddles with it, and you completely ignore the result :) i would consider this still be a totally compliant GMPI host as long as you offer no other way to define a musical timeline. if you did that but continued to ignore the plugin's efforts, then i think the GMPI Authority would have to smote you from the "compliant" list :) --p ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
